Halo By Orthene chosen by EXCELR8 for 2024 BTCC campaign

Press Release –

Halo By Orthene, a division of Orthene, the world’s largest specialist producer of brake fluid, continues to expand its top-flight motorsport adoption in a deal with EXCELR8 Motorsport’s British Touring Car Championship (BTCC) team.

With their quartet of drivers all now favouring Halo P1 for its improved pedal feel and fade resistance over race distance, the team has achieved an impressive 14 podiums - including five wins - already this season.

As a result, the EXCELR8-run Team BRISTOL STREET MOTORS squad are currently second in the Teams’ Championship standings, with Tom Ingram - the 2022 champion - currently leading the Drivers’ Championship.

Developed in-house by Halo By Orthene, a specialist division of Orthene, the UK-based world-leading brake fluid manufacturer formed in 1976, Halo P1 is a dedicated motorsport brake fluid and the most advanced on the market.

Halo P1 offers the highest typical dry boiling point of 341°C (646°F) and unmatched incompressibility in the most extreme circumstances for unrivalled consistency of pedal feel and performance.

Halo P1 was launched in January 2024, but for the past two years the Halo By Orthene team has been trackside with race teams and performance OEMs to understand their challenges and needs.

Building upon Orthene’s nearly 50 years of experience, the result is a wealth of knowledge which has helped formulate Halo P1 to be the world’s best racing brake fluid.

"We are delighted to be working with Halo By Orthene this season on our BTCC programme" said Connor Morgan, EXCELR8 Motorsport Team Principal. "Their knowledge and expertise in their field will not only increase our performance abilities, but also shows to everyone else on the grid that we won't leave any stone unturned to ensure we are running at peak performance and pushing for every competitive advantage possible.

“Halo has already shown that they want to be the number one brake fluid supplier in the world, and we look forward to working alongside them on this journey."

Adoption of Halo P1 in global motorsport continues apace as teams and drivers feel the benefit of its performance advantage.

Already, over 60 major teams across a range of different discipline are feeling the difference from making use of Halo P1 since its launch at the start of the year, including teams in GT and Endurance racing, NASCAR and touring cars.

“We’re very excited to continue growing our presence in top-flight motorsport in this latest agreement with EXCELR8 Motorsport" echoed Lloyd Ker, Halo By Orthene Director. "As a multiple championship-winning team, they are at the forefront of BTCC and leave no stone unturned in their constant push for performance and eking out every competitive advantage.

“EXCELR8 quickly understood the performance gains of Halo P1 and both the team and their drivers are incredibly positive about the feeling and gains it gives them. It brings the number of teams already choosing to change to Halo P1 to over 60 now since the start of 2024, and I think that rate of adoption speaks very clearly to the performance advantage which Halo P1 provides as the best motorsport brake fluid on the market.”
